This is not about stopping "ideas I don't like," it's about stopping "This shit is made up, and it's intended to be damaging." I do not understand why so many people cannot or refuse to see the difference.

And yet a lot of contributors here see no difference between that and factual information or honest reportage. It’s distressing that so many people seem to swim in this mire of relativity, and see calls for truthfulness and adherence to reality as some sort of sin, an admission of bias and a desire to suppress the other side.

Many of the truths that have been slung around in recent times have turned out to be noble lies or outright falsehoods, manipulating opinion for monetary or political gain. The problem is not so much in the research itself, but that it is presented and reported unaware or indifferent to those events.
